Kazuma stood before Galen, his mind swirling with uncertainty and doubt. Yes, he has Gaya energy but he has no idea how to use it What possible help could he a small and seemingly ordinary being, provide to someone as powerful as Galen? His thoughts raced, leaving him at a loss for words.
Noticing Kazuma's perplexed expression, Galen calmly addressed his concerns. "If you're wondering how you can assist us, please follow me" he said, gesturing for Kazuma to join him.
As Galan, Kazuma, and Elina ventured into the forest within the village, a somber sight greeted them. The once vibrant trees stood dry and lifeless, devoid of their luscious foliage. The ground was barren, with no signs of grass or sprightly sprites. A gloomy aura hung heavy in the air, reflecting the plight of the woodland.
Amidst this desolation, a solitary tree stood tall and resolute—a magnificent beacon of hope amidst the darkness. Its branches reached skyward, undeterred by the surrounding decay, radiating a sense of resilience and strength.
Galan's voice echoed with determination as he revealed his plea, "I implore you to aid us in saving our village's world tree."
The mention of the 'world tree' left Kazuma stunned, his curiosity ignited. Unable to contain his intrigue, he hastily accessed his Eye of Gaya to gather more information about this vital entity.

Kazuma's surprise deepened as he observed the numerous question marks obscuring the complete status of the world tree. The Cat-System intervened, shedding light on the matter.
[Cat-System
"The world tree is a complex system intricately linked to the elves and spirit beings. As a world tree, its full status is not accessible to you. The Eye of Gaya has the potential to reveal more, but you must first unlock its complete abilities."]
Realizing that his current level restricted him from comprehending the full extent of the world tree's influence, Kazuma felt a mix of frustration and curiosity. The system had made it clear that the Eye of Gaya held the answers, but those answers remained locked for now.
As Kazuma emerged from his contemplation, Galen proceeded to explain the specifics of his unique role.
"In order to save the world tree, we must summon the highest-level spirit. However, this requires a skilled summoner and a beacon possessing strong Gaya's energy. This is where you come in," Galan revealed.
A hint of satisfaction flickered across Kazuma's face as he realized that his task might not be as hard as he initially envisioned. The realization that he was meant to stand as a beacon left him feeling somewhat relaxed. However, he quickly dismissed these thoughts, reminding himself that every contribution, no matter how small, mattered in the face of adversity.
Galen, noticing Kazuma's reaction, approached him. "Are you alright? Will you still assist us?"
Kazuma, unable to voice his thoughts, nodded fervently. Although he had anticipated a more active role, he understood the importance of his presence and the Gaya's energy he emanated. He had committed himself to this duty, ready to fulfill the role of the beacon that would guide and attract the highest-level spirit.
